Vision Valley is the home of Pymble’s Outdoor Education and Experiential Learning programs.

Set on more than 90 acres of land bordering the Berowra Valley National Park and located only 45 minutes’ drive from the College, Vision Valley provides an extensive, diverse range of opportunities for experiential learning and wellness activities for our girls.

The site’s bushland backdrop allows off-grid activities, in addition to making use of the existing facilities – which include a conference centre, sporting field, archery range, canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling and a zip-line.

Our girls are challenged to develop self-efficacy, resilience, courage, coping skills, safe risk taking, leadership and teamwork at Vision Valley.

Pymble’s Year 9 students participate in a mandatory Residential Program at Vision Valley. Over four weeks, students live and learn away from home with their peers in a unique technology-free environment. This gives them time and space to connect to self, others and the natural environment.

The curriculum embraces Vision Valley’s physical location and reflects themes from the main campus including sustainability, First Nations learning and respectful relationships.

Every aspect of the Residential Experience builds real-world learning and problem-solving in to the context of living in the natural environment.
